Collection Research

The Collection Research Department focuses primarily on studying the collection and
developing exhibitions.

This department is responsible for art-historical research into and documentation of the museum
collection. The insights acquired form the basis for the KMSKA's collection policy. The department
supports the museum's exhibitions through scientific research and it publishes its research data on
a regular basis. In this manner, it contributes to a better public accessibility of the
collection.
